Relegation battle goes to the wire

The battle for survival in the Super League is expected to be decided on the final day of the season as Nkwazi, Mutondo Stars, Napsa Stars and FC Leopards are all not safe.

‎With one round of matches left in the season, only Mines United have so far been relegated.

‎The four teams battling relegation recorded mixed results in the weekend’s round of 33 matches.

Nkwazi on Sunday edged Kansanshi Dynamos 1-0 at home in Lusaka via Shawn Oduro’s 25th minute goal.

After the win, Nkwazi remained fourth from the bottom of the table with 34 points from 32 matches played.

Nkwazi have one played a match against FC Muza, which was recently cancelled hours before kick-off in an inexplicable manner in Mazabuka.

Leopards refused to be relegated on Sunday after beating Green Buffaloes at home in Kabwe – thanks to Joshua Mapande’s 56th minute goal.

Leopards, coached by Albert Kachinga, would have been relegated today had they lost to Buffaloes.

Coach Kachinga’s side is placed second from the bottom of the table with 31 points in 33 matches.

Meanwhile, Napsa remained third from the bottom of the table after a goalless draw away at Konkola Blades on Sunday.

Napsa are just two points ahead of Leopards.

In Kitwe, Mutondo Stars boosted their survival hopes with a 3-1 win over Mines United.

Mutondo are placed 14th on the table with 35 points from 33 matches played.
